LOUIS BAKER ‘Gave It All Away (Electronic Mix)’

February 6, 2017

Following a year of co-writing and songwriting sessions abroad, Louis Baker has just released ‘Gave It All Away’. The song has been released as two versions: a strikingly raw, acoustic version recorded by Baker, and as an electronic track produced by Fat Freddy’s Droplegend behind the MPC, Mu

Written alone by the young Wellington songwriter, the song came to life late one night in a hotel room, far from the grounding lights of home. “I remember feeling the exhaustion starting to set in, after being on the road by myself in the UK for quite some time,”Louis reminisces. “The song is about not giving up on your dreams. It’s about never giving in. It’s about the resolve and determination one must have in order to make these dreams become reality.”Originally written and recorded acoustically, Baker also wanted to explore the idea of trying an alternate version of “Gave It All Away.” With his love and interest in Dance, Hip-Hop and House music, Louis reached out to Mu of Fat Freddy’s Drop to produce and collaborate on the track. Leaving us with a deep, four-to-the-floor dance track that makes your body want to move. “To work with Mu on this project was so dope. I’ve always been a huge fan of Fat Freddy’s, and in particular Mu’s production,” says Baker.
